Media Monitoring

Flax builds high-performance media monitoring systems using our own open source library, Luwak. Simply put, it allows you to define a set of search queries and then monitor a stream of documents for any that might match these queries: a function also known as ‘reverse search’ and ‘document routing’. Based on the powerful Apache Lucene library, it can be used to build monitoring and classification systems that apply millions of highly complex queries over millions of documents a day. It can also be used to replace legacy systems such as Verity and dtSearch – and we have custom parsers available so you don’t have to translate your stored queries to a new format.

'Flax's expertise in implementing high-performance search and monitoring systems was invaluable. They delivered a component that works seamlessly with the other parts of our system and allows us to process thousands of items every day'
